OK. I will fast forward to today.

W asked if we could attend a local festival. I agreed that I would go along with her. Over the past few days W had been planning things in the near/distant future and the plans included me.

While driving to our destination today W said to me "I don't want to get into a conversation about it but I want you to know I am considering giving us another chance" I did not know how to respond so I said "OK, we will talk about it when you are ready."

Little later W said it would take a lot to make it work that we cant just agree to stay together and "poof" our R is great. I told W I knew it would take time, effort and commitment to regain each others trust.

W expressed how she wants a more fulfilling R/M and nothing like it was. I agreed that I too did not want a relationship like we had....confused by the easy flowing conversation about R we were having I asked "Where do you stand on our marriage?" and W replied "I want our marriage to work and give us another chance."

I said to W that if we decided to take the long road back to restoring our marriage and making it the best possible that I recommend that we attend MC or M building classes (co-worker took this) and W agreed.

W held my hand as we walked around the event and for that time we felt like a married couple again.

I want to make sure we do this the right way. I want to make sure I stay on course.

I always thought when this day came that W told me she wanted to work on our marriage I would be overwhelmed with joy but I am not because I know this is only the begging.
